Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats Use organic if possible.
- ½ cup nut butter Almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter works well.
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup Honey adds a floral note; maple syrup makes it cozy.
- ½ cup chocolate chips Optional; dark chocolate is a healthier option.
- ½ cup flax seeds or chia seeds Nutritional powerhouses providing fiber.
- ½ cup chopped nuts or dried fruits Walnuts, pecans, cranberries, or raisins are great choices.

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients to make the mixing process easier.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, and honey. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Stir in the salt, chocolate chips, nuts, and seeds until well combined.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 10 minutes if it’s too sticky to handle.
- Once firm enough, roll small balls (about the size of a golf ball) using your hands. If they stick, dampen your hands slightly.
- Place the rolled bites on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Store the energy bites in an airtight container in the fridge.

These energy bites can be frozen for up to a month. Just layer them between parchment paper and store in a freezer bag. They stay fresh for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
